The Göttingen was visually identical to the contemporary standard Imperial battleship. In that era, fleet sizes were on the order of thousands of ships, and so dedicated flagship classes were not needed.
At the time, the ship class was the Empire's newest battleship class and formed the mainstay of Imperial forces. Its design was an evolution of the Galactic Federation's warships, and certain visual elements are similar.
The Empire's fleet doctrine of focusing on a smaller number of large calibre cannons was already apparent in this design. (Fleet File Collection Vol.1)
